1 Introduction
Global warming and public concerns about disasters caused by global warming that
could endanger living creatures remains an international hot topic [5] Based on obser-
vations by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) earth tempera-
ture has continuously increased and in January to September 2016 earth temperature
reached out the hottest level for 35 years [28] Specifically global warming is a phe-
nomenon of increasing global temperature due to greenhouse gas effect produced by

increased emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) dinitrook-
sida (N2O) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) which cause solar energy is being trapped
in the atmosphere (Riebeek 2010 in [4])
This increasingly dangerous global warming is driven by greenhouse gas emissions
produced by human actions The most dangerous increase in greenhouse gases is
caused by CO2 emissions released through human activities such as deforestation
fossil fuel use increased industrial quantities and natural processes including respira-
tion and volcanic eruptions Unfortunately our planet capacity to process this waste
has been greatly weakened by widespread andmore destruction of the worldrsquos forests
[32]
World Resources Institute (WRI) on its official website stated that Indonesia ranks
6th world largest contributing country of carbon emissions in 2014 after United States
European Union China India and Russia The amount of carbon emissions contributed
by Indonesia in 2014 amounted to 205 billion Mt CO2e Furthermore worldrsquos con-
cern about climate change due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases has
prompted the emergence of an international agreement called Kyoto Protocol in 1997
Indonesia ratified the first Kyoto Protocol on 28 June 2004 through Law no 17 in 2004
Then in 2011 Indonesia also issued presidential regulations as legal basis for the imple-
mentation of greenhouse gas emission
reduction There are Presidential Regulation No 61 on National Action Plan for
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction (RAN-GRK) and Presidential Regulation No 71
of 2011 on the Implementation of National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (Supriadi et al
2016)
Existing regulations lead Indonesian entities that contribute to carbon emissions in
the air participate in supporting the government to achieve its goal of reducing carbon
emissions by 2030 Their participation is reflected in information disclosure of carbon
emissions through annual report and sustainability report However currently carbon
emissions disclosure practices in Indonesia is voluntary disclosure [25] Non-financial
companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange which disclose carbon emission during 2010-
2012 is 37 from 339 companies and 32 companies from 332 total companies in the
period of 2012-2014 [1 19]
Previous research on carbon emission disclosure showed inconsistent results thus
researchers interested to elaborate more For instance research by Bae Choi et al
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 128
ICE-BEES 2018
(2013) on carbon emissions disclosure in Australian companies showed that lever-
age and profitability do not affect carbon emissions disclosure while firm size indus-
try type carbon emission level and quality of corporate governance have significant
effect on carbon emission disclosure
Jannah amp Muid (2014) analyzed factors that influence Carbon Emission Disclosure in
Indonesian companies They found that leverage has significant and negative effect to
carbon emission disclosure whereas firm size profitability media exposure and indus-
try type have significant and positive impact Moreover environmental performance
in their study demonstrated no significant effect on carbon emissions disclosure
In addition Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) executed a research entitled Determinant of
Carbon Emission Disclosure Results indicated that profitability
organizational visibility managerial ownership and audit committee have significant
and positive impact while environmental performance financial distress institutional
ownership and independent commissioners have no effect on carbon emission dis-
closure
Jaggi et al (2017) also conducted a study entitled The Factors Motivating Voluntary
Disclosure of Carbon Information Evidence Based on Italian Listed Company which
showed that environmental committees institutional ownership and emission treding
scheme significantly and positively affect carbon information disclosure Meanwhile
proportion of independent directors found to not have any effect
Based on the backrgound and previous research that show inconsistencies results
researcher wants to re-examine the factors that affect carbon emission disclosure
Basically this study is conducted by referring to previous researches on carbon emis-
sion disclosure The study aims to analyze the effect of leverage profitability firm
size and institutional ownership Originality of this research lies in its research object
which is mining company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of
2013-2016 Throughout the researcherrsquos knowledge no research has been executed on
factors affecting carbon emission disclosure at mining companies listed in BEI during
the period of 2013-2016
There are three theories supporting this study First theory of legitimacy Dowling amp
Pfeffer (1975) provided a view of the theory of legitimacy that an organization strives
to build harmony between the social values associated with their activities and accept-
able behavioral norms on a larger social system in which their organization exists
Organizational legitimacy can be obtained if these two value systems are aligned
Therefore company will disclose carbon emissions in its annual report or sustainability

report to aware the public that its operation is consistent with surrounding community
values
Stakeholder theory said that a company is not an entity that operates for its own
business only but it should provide benefits to its stakeholders The existence of a com-
pany is strongly influenced stakeholders supports to the company (Ghozali amp Chariri
2007 in [19]) Thus when stakeholders take control of important economic resources
companies will seek to meet the needs of stakeholders (Ullman 1985 in [36])
Jensen amp Meckling (1976) defined agency relationships as contracts between one or
more principal with agents to perform services (ex managing companies) including
providinge the agents of authority as decision makers There is however a strong rea-
son that agents will not always act in the best interests of the principal This condition
could trigger information asymmetry
Information asymmetry occured when management has information on a company
that is not owned by an outsider [10] Therefore companies are expected to make
voluntary disclosures about company information such as environmental issues which
in this case is carbon emissions disclosure By doing this it is expected to minimize
information asymmetry between agents and principals
Leverage describes companyrsquos assets and financial risks that become expense in the
future [27] Greater leverage ratio reflects higher companyrsquos debt value [3] According
to stakeholder theory creditor is one of stakeholders who has power to influence
the company If the leverage ratio is greater creditor will give more pressure to the
company Research conducted by Irwhantoko amp Basuki (2016) and Peng et al (2014)
showed that leverage has significant and negative effect on carbon emission disclo-
sure Thus firms with high leverage tends to concentrate more on repaying their debts
by making non-mandatory disclosures Based on this the hypothesis is
H1 Leverage has significant effect on Carbon Emisssion Disclosure
Profitability is a ratio to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a company in
managing all its assets to generate profit [16] Profitability reflects companyrsquos finan-
cial performance Companies with poor financial performance will give extra focus
on achieving financial goals and improving their performance and thus cause their
capabilities in preventing and reporting carbon emissions become limited [30] This
study uses ROA ratio to calculate profitability ROA is chosen because it can describe
efficiency of the company in using its asset to gain profit

According to the theory of legitimacy society requires company to conduct social
responsibility to the surrounding environment Good corporate performance will affect
how fast company responses to the issue Companies with better performance will
have greater ability for disclosure and having more details disclosure area as well
(Roberts 1992 in [17])
There are three different results of previous research Cahya (2016) and Jannah amp
Muid (2014) found that profitability affects carbon emission disclosure However Bae
Choi et al (2013) showed that carbon emission disclosure is not affected by profitabil-
ity Moreovre Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) also found the difference that is there is
a negative relationship between profitability to environmental disclosure It means
that greater level of profitability will cause more limited disclosure for environmental
information od the company
Based on the theory and results of previous research it can be concluded that com-
panies with good profitability will be able to provide additional employee or financial
resources for voluntary disclosure Therefore companies with good financial perfor-
mance are expected to engage in carbon emissions disclosure So the hypothesis is
as follows
H2 Profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
Firm size represents companyrsquos resources means the larger the companyrsquos size
the greater its resources [7] People have higher expectations about carbon manage-
ment practices by large companies Therefore large companies are more responsive
in meeting disclosure demands (Freedman amp Jaggi 2005 in [23]) Based on the the-
ory of legitimacy large firms have a greater tendency to disclose information about
carbon emissions Larger companies are getting higher pressure from the community
and stakeholders In addition large company also avoid huge cost due to community
demands in the future [26]
Jannah amp Muid (2014) showed that firm size has significant and positive effect on
carbon emission disclosure Nevertheless Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) found negative
and significant relationship between firm size and oil and gas environment disclosure
in Nigeria Based on the findings and theories above the researchers concluded that
larger firm size driven company to disclose more about its carbon emissions Below is
the hypothesis
H3 Firm size has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure

ICE-BEES 2018
Relationship between institutional ownership and carbon emissions disclosure may
come into debates According to agency theory in the positive side institutional own-
ership can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
[31] As a result managers are under pressure to always meet the information needs
of investors including carbon information [18] On the other hand (from a negative
perspective) high institutional ownership can influence companies to reduce the dis-
closure of voluntary corporate information or manipulate disclosures to maximize their
personal benefits This kind of conflict is known as the principal agency which produce
an agency problem between majority and those minority shareholder [13]
Previous studies also found contrary results Chang amp Zhang (2015) stated that com-
panies with a large proportion of institutional ownership will voluntarily disclose more
environmental information Whereas Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) showed that institu-
tional ownership has no effect on carbon emissions disclosure Furthermore Alhaza-
imeh et al (2014) found that there is significant and negative relationship between
block holder ownership (which is proxied by institutional ownership) with voluntary
disclosure Thus hypothesis that can be formulated by is as follows

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple
rank regression that goes into non-parametric domain Furthermore hypothesis is
examined by observing significance value magnitude If the value is less than 005

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

50 thus future research may investigates other factors that affect carbon emission
disclosure such as environmental performance firm age media exposure and growth

increased emissions of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) dinitrook-
sida (N2O) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) which cause solar energy is being trapped
in the atmosphere (Riebeek 2010 in [4])
This increasingly dangerous global warming is driven by greenhouse gas emissions
produced by human actions The most dangerous increase in greenhouse gases is
caused by CO2 emissions released through human activities such as deforestation
fossil fuel use increased industrial quantities and natural processes including respira-
tion and volcanic eruptions Unfortunately our planet capacity to process this waste
has been greatly weakened by widespread andmore destruction of the worldrsquos forests
[32]
World Resources Institute (WRI) on its official website stated that Indonesia ranks
6th world largest contributing country of carbon emissions in 2014 after United States
European Union China India and Russia The amount of carbon emissions contributed
by Indonesia in 2014 amounted to 205 billion Mt CO2e Furthermore worldrsquos con-
cern about climate change due to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases has
prompted the emergence of an international agreement called Kyoto Protocol in 1997
Indonesia ratified the first Kyoto Protocol on 28 June 2004 through Law no 17 in 2004
Then in 2011 Indonesia also issued presidential regulations as legal basis for the imple-
mentation of greenhouse gas emission
reduction There are Presidential Regulation No 61 on National Action Plan for
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction (RAN-GRK) and Presidential Regulation No 71
of 2011 on the Implementation of National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (Supriadi et al
2016)
Existing regulations lead Indonesian entities that contribute to carbon emissions in
the air participate in supporting the government to achieve its goal of reducing carbon
emissions by 2030 Their participation is reflected in information disclosure of carbon
emissions through annual report and sustainability report However currently carbon
emissions disclosure practices in Indonesia is voluntary disclosure [25] Non-financial
companies in Indonesia Stock Exchange which disclose carbon emission during 2010-
2012 is 37 from 339 companies and 32 companies from 332 total companies in the
period of 2012-2014 [1 19]
Previous research on carbon emission disclosure showed inconsistent results thus
researchers interested to elaborate more For instance research by Bae Choi et al
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 128
ICE-BEES 2018
(2013) on carbon emissions disclosure in Australian companies showed that lever-
age and profitability do not affect carbon emissions disclosure while firm size indus-
try type carbon emission level and quality of corporate governance have significant
effect on carbon emission disclosure
Jannah amp Muid (2014) analyzed factors that influence Carbon Emission Disclosure in
Indonesian companies They found that leverage has significant and negative effect to
carbon emission disclosure whereas firm size profitability media exposure and indus-
try type have significant and positive impact Moreover environmental performance
in their study demonstrated no significant effect on carbon emissions disclosure
In addition Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) executed a research entitled Determinant of
Carbon Emission Disclosure Results indicated that profitability
organizational visibility managerial ownership and audit committee have significant
and positive impact while environmental performance financial distress institutional
ownership and independent commissioners have no effect on carbon emission dis-
closure
Jaggi et al (2017) also conducted a study entitled The Factors Motivating Voluntary
Disclosure of Carbon Information Evidence Based on Italian Listed Company which
showed that environmental committees institutional ownership and emission treding
scheme significantly and positively affect carbon information disclosure Meanwhile
proportion of independent directors found to not have any effect
Based on the backrgound and previous research that show inconsistencies results
researcher wants to re-examine the factors that affect carbon emission disclosure
Basically this study is conducted by referring to previous researches on carbon emis-
sion disclosure The study aims to analyze the effect of leverage profitability firm
size and institutional ownership Originality of this research lies in its research object
which is mining company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of
2013-2016 Throughout the researcherrsquos knowledge no research has been executed on
factors affecting carbon emission disclosure at mining companies listed in BEI during
the period of 2013-2016
There are three theories supporting this study First theory of legitimacy Dowling amp
Pfeffer (1975) provided a view of the theory of legitimacy that an organization strives
to build harmony between the social values associated with their activities and accept-
able behavioral norms on a larger social system in which their organization exists
Organizational legitimacy can be obtained if these two value systems are aligned
Therefore company will disclose carbon emissions in its annual report or sustainability
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 129
ICE-BEES 2018
report to aware the public that its operation is consistent with surrounding community
values
Stakeholder theory said that a company is not an entity that operates for its own
business only but it should provide benefits to its stakeholders The existence of a com-
pany is strongly influenced stakeholders supports to the company (Ghozali amp Chariri
2007 in [19]) Thus when stakeholders take control of important economic resources
companies will seek to meet the needs of stakeholders (Ullman 1985 in [36])
Jensen amp Meckling (1976) defined agency relationships as contracts between one or
more principal with agents to perform services (ex managing companies) including
providinge the agents of authority as decision makers There is however a strong rea-
son that agents will not always act in the best interests of the principal This condition
could trigger information asymmetry
Information asymmetry occured when management has information on a company
that is not owned by an outsider [10] Therefore companies are expected to make
voluntary disclosures about company information such as environmental issues which
in this case is carbon emissions disclosure By doing this it is expected to minimize
information asymmetry between agents and principals
Leverage describes companyrsquos assets and financial risks that become expense in the
future [27] Greater leverage ratio reflects higher companyrsquos debt value [3] According
to stakeholder theory creditor is one of stakeholders who has power to influence
the company If the leverage ratio is greater creditor will give more pressure to the
company Research conducted by Irwhantoko amp Basuki (2016) and Peng et al (2014)
showed that leverage has significant and negative effect on carbon emission disclo-
sure Thus firms with high leverage tends to concentrate more on repaying their debts
by making non-mandatory disclosures Based on this the hypothesis is
H1 Leverage has significant effect on Carbon Emisssion Disclosure
Profitability is a ratio to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a company in
managing all its assets to generate profit [16] Profitability reflects companyrsquos finan-
cial performance Companies with poor financial performance will give extra focus
on achieving financial goals and improving their performance and thus cause their
capabilities in preventing and reporting carbon emissions become limited [30] This
study uses ROA ratio to calculate profitability ROA is chosen because it can describe
efficiency of the company in using its asset to gain profit
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 130
ICE-BEES 2018
According to the theory of legitimacy society requires company to conduct social
responsibility to the surrounding environment Good corporate performance will affect
how fast company responses to the issue Companies with better performance will
have greater ability for disclosure and having more details disclosure area as well
(Roberts 1992 in [17])
There are three different results of previous research Cahya (2016) and Jannah amp
Muid (2014) found that profitability affects carbon emission disclosure However Bae
Choi et al (2013) showed that carbon emission disclosure is not affected by profitabil-
ity Moreovre Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) also found the difference that is there is
a negative relationship between profitability to environmental disclosure It means
that greater level of profitability will cause more limited disclosure for environmental
information od the company
Based on the theory and results of previous research it can be concluded that com-
panies with good profitability will be able to provide additional employee or financial
resources for voluntary disclosure Therefore companies with good financial perfor-
mance are expected to engage in carbon emissions disclosure So the hypothesis is
as follows
H2 Profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
Firm size represents companyrsquos resources means the larger the companyrsquos size
the greater its resources [7] People have higher expectations about carbon manage-
ment practices by large companies Therefore large companies are more responsive
in meeting disclosure demands (Freedman amp Jaggi 2005 in [23]) Based on the the-
ory of legitimacy large firms have a greater tendency to disclose information about
carbon emissions Larger companies are getting higher pressure from the community
and stakeholders In addition large company also avoid huge cost due to community
demands in the future [26]
Jannah amp Muid (2014) showed that firm size has significant and positive effect on
carbon emission disclosure Nevertheless Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) found negative
and significant relationship between firm size and oil and gas environment disclosure
in Nigeria Based on the findings and theories above the researchers concluded that
larger firm size driven company to disclose more about its carbon emissions Below is
the hypothesis
H3 Firm size has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 131
ICE-BEES 2018
Relationship between institutional ownership and carbon emissions disclosure may
come into debates According to agency theory in the positive side institutional own-
ership can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
[31] As a result managers are under pressure to always meet the information needs
of investors including carbon information [18] On the other hand (from a negative
perspective) high institutional ownership can influence companies to reduce the dis-
closure of voluntary corporate information or manipulate disclosures to maximize their
personal benefits This kind of conflict is known as the principal agency which produce
an agency problem between majority and those minority shareholder [13]
Previous studies also found contrary results Chang amp Zhang (2015) stated that com-
panies with a large proportion of institutional ownership will voluntarily disclose more
environmental information Whereas Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) showed that institu-
tional ownership has no effect on carbon emissions disclosure Furthermore Alhaza-
imeh et al (2014) found that there is significant and negative relationship between
block holder ownership (which is proxied by institutional ownership) with voluntary
disclosure Thus hypothesis that can be formulated by is as follows

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple
rank regression that goes into non-parametric domain Furthermore hypothesis is
examined by observing significance value magnitude If the value is less than 005

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

ICE-BEES 2018
information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

disclosure such as environmental performance firm age media exposure and growth

(2013) on carbon emissions disclosure in Australian companies showed that lever-
age and profitability do not affect carbon emissions disclosure while firm size indus-
try type carbon emission level and quality of corporate governance have significant
effect on carbon emission disclosure
Jannah amp Muid (2014) analyzed factors that influence Carbon Emission Disclosure in
Indonesian companies They found that leverage has significant and negative effect to
carbon emission disclosure whereas firm size profitability media exposure and indus-
try type have significant and positive impact Moreover environmental performance
in their study demonstrated no significant effect on carbon emissions disclosure
In addition Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) executed a research entitled Determinant of
Carbon Emission Disclosure Results indicated that profitability
organizational visibility managerial ownership and audit committee have significant
and positive impact while environmental performance financial distress institutional
ownership and independent commissioners have no effect on carbon emission dis-
closure
Jaggi et al (2017) also conducted a study entitled The Factors Motivating Voluntary
Disclosure of Carbon Information Evidence Based on Italian Listed Company which
showed that environmental committees institutional ownership and emission treding
scheme significantly and positively affect carbon information disclosure Meanwhile
proportion of independent directors found to not have any effect
Based on the backrgound and previous research that show inconsistencies results
researcher wants to re-examine the factors that affect carbon emission disclosure
Basically this study is conducted by referring to previous researches on carbon emis-
sion disclosure The study aims to analyze the effect of leverage profitability firm
size and institutional ownership Originality of this research lies in its research object
which is mining company listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) during the period of
2013-2016 Throughout the researcherrsquos knowledge no research has been executed on
factors affecting carbon emission disclosure at mining companies listed in BEI during
the period of 2013-2016
There are three theories supporting this study First theory of legitimacy Dowling amp
Pfeffer (1975) provided a view of the theory of legitimacy that an organization strives
to build harmony between the social values associated with their activities and accept-
able behavioral norms on a larger social system in which their organization exists
Organizational legitimacy can be obtained if these two value systems are aligned
Therefore company will disclose carbon emissions in its annual report or sustainability
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 129
ICE-BEES 2018
report to aware the public that its operation is consistent with surrounding community
values
Stakeholder theory said that a company is not an entity that operates for its own
business only but it should provide benefits to its stakeholders The existence of a com-
pany is strongly influenced stakeholders supports to the company (Ghozali amp Chariri
2007 in [19]) Thus when stakeholders take control of important economic resources
companies will seek to meet the needs of stakeholders (Ullman 1985 in [36])
Jensen amp Meckling (1976) defined agency relationships as contracts between one or
more principal with agents to perform services (ex managing companies) including
providinge the agents of authority as decision makers There is however a strong rea-
son that agents will not always act in the best interests of the principal This condition
could trigger information asymmetry
Information asymmetry occured when management has information on a company
that is not owned by an outsider [10] Therefore companies are expected to make
voluntary disclosures about company information such as environmental issues which
in this case is carbon emissions disclosure By doing this it is expected to minimize
information asymmetry between agents and principals
Leverage describes companyrsquos assets and financial risks that become expense in the
future [27] Greater leverage ratio reflects higher companyrsquos debt value [3] According
to stakeholder theory creditor is one of stakeholders who has power to influence
the company If the leverage ratio is greater creditor will give more pressure to the
company Research conducted by Irwhantoko amp Basuki (2016) and Peng et al (2014)
showed that leverage has significant and negative effect on carbon emission disclo-
sure Thus firms with high leverage tends to concentrate more on repaying their debts
by making non-mandatory disclosures Based on this the hypothesis is
H1 Leverage has significant effect on Carbon Emisssion Disclosure
Profitability is a ratio to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a company in
managing all its assets to generate profit [16] Profitability reflects companyrsquos finan-
cial performance Companies with poor financial performance will give extra focus
on achieving financial goals and improving their performance and thus cause their
capabilities in preventing and reporting carbon emissions become limited [30] This
study uses ROA ratio to calculate profitability ROA is chosen because it can describe
efficiency of the company in using its asset to gain profit
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 130
ICE-BEES 2018
According to the theory of legitimacy society requires company to conduct social
responsibility to the surrounding environment Good corporate performance will affect
how fast company responses to the issue Companies with better performance will
have greater ability for disclosure and having more details disclosure area as well
(Roberts 1992 in [17])
There are three different results of previous research Cahya (2016) and Jannah amp
Muid (2014) found that profitability affects carbon emission disclosure However Bae
Choi et al (2013) showed that carbon emission disclosure is not affected by profitabil-
ity Moreovre Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) also found the difference that is there is
a negative relationship between profitability to environmental disclosure It means
that greater level of profitability will cause more limited disclosure for environmental
information od the company
Based on the theory and results of previous research it can be concluded that com-
panies with good profitability will be able to provide additional employee or financial
resources for voluntary disclosure Therefore companies with good financial perfor-
mance are expected to engage in carbon emissions disclosure So the hypothesis is
as follows
H2 Profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
Firm size represents companyrsquos resources means the larger the companyrsquos size
the greater its resources [7] People have higher expectations about carbon manage-
ment practices by large companies Therefore large companies are more responsive
in meeting disclosure demands (Freedman amp Jaggi 2005 in [23]) Based on the the-
ory of legitimacy large firms have a greater tendency to disclose information about
carbon emissions Larger companies are getting higher pressure from the community
and stakeholders In addition large company also avoid huge cost due to community
demands in the future [26]
Jannah amp Muid (2014) showed that firm size has significant and positive effect on
carbon emission disclosure Nevertheless Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) found negative
and significant relationship between firm size and oil and gas environment disclosure
in Nigeria Based on the findings and theories above the researchers concluded that
larger firm size driven company to disclose more about its carbon emissions Below is
the hypothesis
H3 Firm size has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 131
ICE-BEES 2018
Relationship between institutional ownership and carbon emissions disclosure may
come into debates According to agency theory in the positive side institutional own-
ership can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
[31] As a result managers are under pressure to always meet the information needs
of investors including carbon information [18] On the other hand (from a negative
perspective) high institutional ownership can influence companies to reduce the dis-
closure of voluntary corporate information or manipulate disclosures to maximize their
personal benefits This kind of conflict is known as the principal agency which produce
an agency problem between majority and those minority shareholder [13]
Previous studies also found contrary results Chang amp Zhang (2015) stated that com-
panies with a large proportion of institutional ownership will voluntarily disclose more
environmental information Whereas Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) showed that institu-
tional ownership has no effect on carbon emissions disclosure Furthermore Alhaza-
imeh et al (2014) found that there is significant and negative relationship between
block holder ownership (which is proxied by institutional ownership) with voluntary
disclosure Thus hypothesis that can be formulated by is as follows

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple
rank regression that goes into non-parametric domain Furthermore hypothesis is
examined by observing significance value magnitude If the value is less than 005

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

values
Stakeholder theory said that a company is not an entity that operates for its own
business only but it should provide benefits to its stakeholders The existence of a com-
pany is strongly influenced stakeholders supports to the company (Ghozali amp Chariri
2007 in [19]) Thus when stakeholders take control of important economic resources
companies will seek to meet the needs of stakeholders (Ullman 1985 in [36])
Jensen amp Meckling (1976) defined agency relationships as contracts between one or
more principal with agents to perform services (ex managing companies) including
providinge the agents of authority as decision makers There is however a strong rea-
son that agents will not always act in the best interests of the principal This condition
could trigger information asymmetry
Information asymmetry occured when management has information on a company
that is not owned by an outsider [10] Therefore companies are expected to make
voluntary disclosures about company information such as environmental issues which
in this case is carbon emissions disclosure By doing this it is expected to minimize
information asymmetry between agents and principals
Leverage describes companyrsquos assets and financial risks that become expense in the
future [27] Greater leverage ratio reflects higher companyrsquos debt value [3] According
to stakeholder theory creditor is one of stakeholders who has power to influence
the company If the leverage ratio is greater creditor will give more pressure to the
company Research conducted by Irwhantoko amp Basuki (2016) and Peng et al (2014)
showed that leverage has significant and negative effect on carbon emission disclo-
sure Thus firms with high leverage tends to concentrate more on repaying their debts
by making non-mandatory disclosures Based on this the hypothesis is
H1 Leverage has significant effect on Carbon Emisssion Disclosure
Profitability is a ratio to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of a company in
managing all its assets to generate profit [16] Profitability reflects companyrsquos finan-
cial performance Companies with poor financial performance will give extra focus
on achieving financial goals and improving their performance and thus cause their
capabilities in preventing and reporting carbon emissions become limited [30] This
study uses ROA ratio to calculate profitability ROA is chosen because it can describe
efficiency of the company in using its asset to gain profit

According to the theory of legitimacy society requires company to conduct social
responsibility to the surrounding environment Good corporate performance will affect
how fast company responses to the issue Companies with better performance will
have greater ability for disclosure and having more details disclosure area as well
(Roberts 1992 in [17])
There are three different results of previous research Cahya (2016) and Jannah amp
Muid (2014) found that profitability affects carbon emission disclosure However Bae
Choi et al (2013) showed that carbon emission disclosure is not affected by profitabil-
ity Moreovre Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) also found the difference that is there is
a negative relationship between profitability to environmental disclosure It means
that greater level of profitability will cause more limited disclosure for environmental
information od the company
Based on the theory and results of previous research it can be concluded that com-
panies with good profitability will be able to provide additional employee or financial
resources for voluntary disclosure Therefore companies with good financial perfor-
mance are expected to engage in carbon emissions disclosure So the hypothesis is
as follows
H2 Profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
Firm size represents companyrsquos resources means the larger the companyrsquos size
the greater its resources [7] People have higher expectations about carbon manage-
ment practices by large companies Therefore large companies are more responsive
in meeting disclosure demands (Freedman amp Jaggi 2005 in [23]) Based on the the-
ory of legitimacy large firms have a greater tendency to disclose information about
carbon emissions Larger companies are getting higher pressure from the community
and stakeholders In addition large company also avoid huge cost due to community
demands in the future [26]
Jannah amp Muid (2014) showed that firm size has significant and positive effect on
carbon emission disclosure Nevertheless Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) found negative
and significant relationship between firm size and oil and gas environment disclosure
in Nigeria Based on the findings and theories above the researchers concluded that
larger firm size driven company to disclose more about its carbon emissions Below is
the hypothesis
H3 Firm size has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure

Relationship between institutional ownership and carbon emissions disclosure may
come into debates According to agency theory in the positive side institutional own-
ership can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
[31] As a result managers are under pressure to always meet the information needs
of investors including carbon information [18] On the other hand (from a negative
perspective) high institutional ownership can influence companies to reduce the dis-
closure of voluntary corporate information or manipulate disclosures to maximize their
personal benefits This kind of conflict is known as the principal agency which produce
an agency problem between majority and those minority shareholder [13]
Previous studies also found contrary results Chang amp Zhang (2015) stated that com-
panies with a large proportion of institutional ownership will voluntarily disclose more
environmental information Whereas Akhiroh amp Kiswanto (2016) showed that institu-
tional ownership has no effect on carbon emissions disclosure Furthermore Alhaza-
imeh et al (2014) found that there is significant and negative relationship between
block holder ownership (which is proxied by institutional ownership) with voluntary
disclosure Thus hypothesis that can be formulated by is as follows

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple
rank regression that goes into non-parametric domain Furthermore hypothesis is
examined by observing significance value magnitude If the value is less than 005

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

ICE-BEES 2018
information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

Relationship between institutional ownership and carbon emissions disclosure may
come into debates According to agency theory in the positive side institutional own-
ership can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
[31] As a result managers are under pressure to always meet the information needs
of investors including carbon information [18] On the other hand (from a negative
perspective) high institutional ownership can influence companies to reduce the dis-
closure of voluntary corporate information or manipulate disclosures to maximize their
personal benefits This kind of conflict is known as the principal agency which produce
an agency problem between majority and those minority shareholder [13]
Previous studies also found contrary results Chang amp Zhang (2015) stated that com-
panies with a large proportion of institutional ownership will voluntarily disclose more

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure

ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple
rank regression that goes into non-parametric domain Furthermore hypothesis is
examined by observing significance value magnitude If the value is less than 005

The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of

Based on Table 4 Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) has minimum value of 006
maximum value of 067 02414 in average with standard deviation of 017302 How-
ever standard deviation value is under themean value thus data deviation is relatively
small This means that the variable is great because the sample is in the average area
of the calculation
In addition leverage has minimum value of 010 maximum value of 190 an average
value of 05093 with a standard deviation of 035831 As CED standar deviation in
leverage is smaller that the average Therefore data deviation is considerably small
Meanwhile profitability -064 039 and 00260 in its minimum maximum and aver-
age respectively Mean value of 00260 demonstrated that most mining companies in
Indonesia has profit at 26 of its total asset Furthermore the standar deviation of
profitability is 014984 which is higher than the average value This data indicated that
there is significant diffences among the data
Data showed that firm size has minimum value of 1525 maximum value of 3208
while the average value is 243280 with a standard deviation of 533097 Standard
deviation which is below the average value means that discrepancies among data
is relatively small Moreover institutional ownership has minimum value of 2918
maximum value of 9700 665303 in mean with standard deviation of 1876690 which
indicates that data deviation is considerably insignificant
This study also run inferential statistical analysis including classical assumption test
and multiple regression analysis with SPSS 23rd version On classical assumption test
it is found that the data is not normally distributed but other assumptions have been
fulfilled Even though various ways such as changing the data to another form are
taken normality test produce similar result Therefore this study employs multiple

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

31 The effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
First hypothesis examines the effect of leverage on carbon emission disclosure
Results showed that leverage has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
thus hypothesis 1 is accepted In addition negative effect is found on the relation of
these two It means that higher leverage in Indonesian mining companies leads to
lower carbon emissions disclosure by the company
This finding supports stakeholder theory which states that the higher the level of
corporate leverage company will obtain great pressure from creditors to carry out its
obligations that is paying off debt lent by creditors Consequently company
undertakes cost management by reducing carbon emissions disclosure This cost
management is conducted due to limited economic resources owned hence company
is required to choose between paying the obligation or performing voluntary disclosure
[19] This finding is in line with the results of researches by Jannah amp Muid (2014) Luo
et al (2013) Peng et al (2014) who stated that leverage negatively affects carbon
emission disclosure
32 The effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Second hypothesis examines the effect of profitability on carbon emission disclosure
Results indicated that profitability has significant effect on carbon emission disclosure
DOI 1018502kssv3i103124 Page 136
ICE-BEES 2018
The relationship is found to be negative It means that higher level of profitability of
mining companies in Indonesia directs to lower carbon emissions disclosure by the
company
This results does not support the theory of legitimacy which states that better
company performance encourage company to exposemore of its voluntary disclosure
including carbon emissions disclosure Moreover this finding is also in contrary to Akhi-
roh amp Kiswanto (2016) Cahya (2016) Jannah amp Muid (2014) who demonstrated that
profitability has positive effect on carbon emission disclosure However the results
of this study is consistent to Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) finding that profitability has
negative and significant impact on environmental disclosure
Yanto amp Muzzammil (2016) argued that there are reasons for negative impact of
profitability on environmental disclosure First environmental disclosure in Indonesia
is voluntary In addition Monitory Agency for Capital Market and Financial Institutions
(BAPEPAM-LK) does not determine environmental disclosure as one of the require-
ments in Indonesia Stock Exchange Second companies with low profitability take
advantage of environmental disclosure for legitimacy purposes Conversely compa-
nies with high profitability do not need to expand their environmental disclosure as it
may disrupt financial achievement of the company [17]
33 The effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure
Third hypothesis investigates the effect of firm size on carbon emission disclosure It
is found that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure therefore hypothesis 3 is
accepted Specifically the effects between these two is negative This finding indi-
cated that bigger firm of Indonesian mining companies tends to disclose more limited
information of its carbon emission disclosure
This finding conctradicts the theory of legitimacy which states that companies with
larger size have a greater tendency to disclose information about carbon emissions
However the results support Dibia amp Onwuchekwa (2015) who showed that there
is negative relationship between firm size and disclosure of oil and gas companies
in Nigeria There are several argument regarding this finding First big companies
become more vulnerable to political attacks such as pressure for social responsibility
implementation as well as subject to larger regulations such as price controls and
high corporate taxes Therefore company reacts to not being attention center related
to its published information That is why large company tends to disclose less detailed

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors

information in annual reports (Wallace amp Nasser 1995 in [24]) Second smaller com-
panies among others in the same industry will have huge motivation to compete
Hence those companies may produce more information including voluntary disclosure
to attract potential investors
34 The effect of institutional ownership oncarbon emission disclosure
Fourth hypothesis examines the effect of institutional ownership on carbon emission
disclosure Results showed that institutional ownership has significant effect on carbon
emission disclosure In addition the impact is found to be negative Therefore higher
institutional ownership in Indonesian mining company encourage company to reduce
its carbon emission disclosure This means that the higher the
level of presentation of institutional ownership in mining companies in Indonesia
the lower disclosure of carbon emissions by companies
The results do not support agency theory which states that institutional owner-
ship can be an effective control mechanism in every decision taken by management
However this study is consistent with studies by Ezhilarasi amp Kabra (2017) and Lakhal
(2005) who found that there is negative relationship between institutional ownership
and to the extent its companyrsquos environmental disclosure Furthermore Alhazaimeh
et al (2014) also demonstrated that there is negative relationship between institu-
tional ownership and voluntary disclosure This condition occurred due to low pressure
of institutional owner to make voluntary disclosure Institutional owners as majority
shareholder have great authority to encourage company not to make voluntary dis-
closures as they want to maximize their profits Nevertheless according to agency
theory such action will lead to agency issues between the majority shareholder and
minority shareholder due to unknown corporate information by minority shareholders
4 Conclusion
Results indicated that leverage profitability firm size and institutional ownership
significantly affect carbon emission disclosure Hence all hypotheses are accepted
Moreover further researchers is recommended to measure carbon emission disclosure
using other indicators which have been adapted into Indonesian conditions such
as those indicators used by Jaggi et al (2017) in his research entitled The Factors
